From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

At this moment, Marquis Daniel had already learned the good news of Clober's promotion to Viscount. He was not surprised by this, because everything was within his expectation.

As early as when he attacked the Holy Beast Island, he made a general observation of the island.

Although the area of ​​the island is not large, it is more than enough for a viscounty.

If one blindly adheres to legal regulations, the island is large enough to be divided into two viscountries with the smallest size.

Fortunately, he wisely agreed to let Krober join the Dragon's Breath Knights, otherwise he would not have been able to obtain the title of viscount so smoothly.

Although some family strength was used in the process, so what?

As long as other members of the family have the same strength and luck, he will do his best to support them in exploring new territories.

In contrast to those incompetent lords who could not even defend their own territories, Krober undoubtedly achieved an achievement that was difficult for most people to achieve.

He became a baron through his own hard work (really on his own), conquered the Holy Beast Island with the help of a small number of family soldiers, and then was promoted to viscount.

Moreover, Krober did not use it for free, he also paid for it.

Marquis Daniel couldn't help but smile when he thought of Leo, who had made a partnership contract with him.

"Viscount Clober, congratulations. I didn't expect that it didn't take long for you to be promoted to Viscount. It's really surprising that you can interact with me on the same level in national activities."

As a direct vassal of the Grand Duke, Krober is indeed qualified to communicate with Marquis Daniel as equals, but this is also the reason why Marquis Daniel gives him face. If Krober is just an ordinary viscount, Marquis Daniel will not waste it. Much time.

But who makes Clober the most beloved grandson of Marquis Daniel? Moreover, Clober's own value has been demonstrated. No one will underestimate a young man who won the title of baron by his own ability at the age of seventeen.

Even the Marquis is no exception.

"Have you broken through the Earth Knight?"

As a knight in the sky, Marquis Daniel has a strong sense of perception, which is a reflection of his mental strength reaching a certain level.

"Yes, I succeeded in breaking through the night before yesterday, and consolidated it all day yesterday. Today I am here to attend His Excellency the Grand Duke's birthday party."

Krober didn't hide his thoughts from others, and he had no interest in pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. His strength was meant to be shown, and he had no time to waste on people who were not even earth knights.

When you reach a certain state, you can speak the words of a certain state.

When you are an official knight, you need to keep a low profile. When you are a great knight, you have to show your abilities and keep a low profile. When you become an earth knight, you have to show off your edge appropriately, but still keep a low profile.

As for the Sky Knight, it can only be said that the Sky Knight is not the one who can influence the situation in the war between the two countries, so he needs to keep a low profile.

But keeping a low profile doesn't mean pretending to be cowardly. I, an official knight, can just pretend to be cowardly. Why do I, a knight from the land, have to pretend to be cowardly?

In that case, wouldn't my promotion be in vain?

Only by showing one's own strength and making the enemy unable to resist is the true meaning of subduing the enemy without fighting.

Well...except for the Sky Knight, Phantom Beast Knight, and Dragon Knight, because of me! Krober! beat! No! Pass!

In fact, if the Sky Knight did not fly and fight, Krober would dare to challenge him. It is true that the combat power bonus given to him by the 720 base stations in his body is too strong. Without considering the bonus of other equipment, he The current combat effectiveness is probably about six times that of Earl Stephen.

Note: The fulcrum built by Earl Stephen is about one hundred and two.

And although the Earth Knight did not awaken new traits this time, the "recovery" traits awakened by drinking the medicine were beyond Krober's expectations.

At present, Krober already has four fighting spirit traits:

Sharpness, toughness, high temperature, recovery, these four.

"By the way, Grandpa, how are you and Leo getting along with each other? Are you sure you can become a Phantom Beast Knight?"

Krober asked the question he wanted to ask the most. The Grand Duke was going to war soon. If Marquis Daniel could become a Phantom Beast Knight, it would increase his chances of surviving on the battlefield.

It's not that Krober is pessimistic, it's mainly the war between countries. The top combat power is the dragon knight, the high-end combat power is the fantasy beast knight. Although the sky knight is not cannon fodder, it can only be regarded as the mainstay at best.

If you are unlucky and accidentally injured, the entire Golden Rose family will most likely be deprived of the title of Marquis.

After all, the most basic requirement of the Marquis is to have one or more strong Sky Knights. If not, he will be demoted back to the Count.

"It's okay. Although Leo is proud, he is still very obedient to those who can conquer him, and he appreciates people with courage the most, so the relationship between us has been cultivated very well, but during this period I have been paying no attention to the cost. I have to cultivate Leo, but it is still far away from the magical beast, I guess it will take a few more months.”

Hearing this, Krober lowered his head in disappointment.

"What's wrong? Why do you show such an expression?"

Marquis Daniel could naturally feel it. When his grandson learned that he still had some time before he could become the Phantom Beast Knight, his whole body suddenly became depressed.

Krober didn't say much.

He knew that this was not the right time to speak, as there were many people around him, and Grand Duke Veronica had not yet announced the start of the war. If he spoke rashly, he might cause unnecessary trouble. It would be better to remain silent and wait for the right opportunity to make plans.

"Nothing, Grandfather. Let's seize this time to practice well. We can feed Leodo some high-quality food and resources and strive to make it a phantom beast as soon as possible."

Marquis Daniel stared at Krober. He knew that there seemed to be a deeper meaning behind his grandson's words. Thinking of the intelligence he had heard during this period, he seemed to know what Krober was going to say.

And as a noble who had followed Grand Duke Veronica since he was young, he was very familiar with these subtle hints.

However, at this moment he chose not to ask more questions, but nodded in agreement:

"Okay, child. We will do as you suggest.

I hope everything will go well and let Leo become a phantom beast as soon as possible."

The grandfather and grandson exchanged a tacit look, and then changed the topic and started talking about other things.

This chat lasted for almost half an hour until Grand Duke Veronica came to the hall, and they stopped talking.

"Good morning, everyone."

As the host of this place, Veronica was the first to greet the nobles.

"Hello, respected Duke!"

Grand Duke Veronica nodded and sat on the throne. Her golden dress shone with light, reflecting the luxurious decorations around her.

Her beautiful face made everyone present fall in love with her.

The nobles offered congratulations to the Grand Duke one after another, and their words were full of flattery and respect.

Some presented rare treasures, and some presented precious calligraphy and paintings to express their respect for the Grand Duke.

However, these were just ordinary things in Veronica's eyes, especially the guy from Thorn Island. Why did he give her a pure gold statue?

No?

You gave a pure gold statue to a golden dragon knight?

And the carving was so ugly!

"This is my own vassal, he chose it himself, bear it! Be patient!"

Resisting the thought of changing the lord of Thorn Island, Veronica accepted the pure gold statue expressionlessly.

In her heart, she couldn't help but think of the time when she received the griffin cub sent by Clober on Amethyst Island.

"I wonder what he will give this time? Will it be gem ore? But is it too expensive for him? And he needs gems to make potions."

"Next, Earl Stephen, from the Moonlight Mushroom Family!"

(This is in the order of the Middle Ages. They are all XXX, and then from XXX. I just wrote it like that. It always feels a bit awkward.)

"Greetings, His Excellency the Grand Duke!"

Earl Stephen bowed, took out the gift he prepared, and handed it to the maid beside him.

The maid took the gift box, looked at it, and showed a look of disgust.

"Earl Stephen, twenty potions of the Moonlight Mushroom Family!"

As soon as these words came out, the nobles below were instantly surprised. Twenty potions? Isn't Count Stephen too stingy?

Actually, twenty potions are not a small amount, but they are indeed shabby in comparison. With the background of the Count Moonlight Mushroom family, shouldn't they only bring so few things to attend the Grand Duke's banquet?

This value and grade are just right for the Viscount.....

The person involved, Count Stephen, is more uncomfortable than them.

Before the Western Expedition, he heard about the old man Daniel breaking through the Sky Knight, so he took most of the family's background and tried to break through the Sky Knight level in a hurry, but failed miserably.

After the Western Expedition, the Golden Rose Family dominated the West and began to gradually erode the market of the Moonlight Mushroom Family. The living space of the Moonlight Mushroom Family was slowly being squeezed, so Count Stephen's idea of ​​breaking through the Sky Knight became stronger.

So he spent a lot of money to buy some potions that increase mental power again, trying to break through the Sky Knight level again.

But alas, he failed again!

As soon as he came out of retreat, the invitation to the Grand Duke's banquet was delivered to him. Most of the family's liquid funds were used to buy potions for himself, so where would there be money to buy some rare gifts for the Grand Duke.

And even if there was money, it would not be acquired in a short time.

Helplessly, Count Stephen had to take the few potions in the family and set off on the road to Saint Gold Castle, and prayed that the dragon would not have any expensive gifts at this banquet, otherwise he would be remembered by the Grand Duke for the rest of his life.

Although he thought so in his heart, Count Stephen's expression did not change. He bowed slightly and then turned and left there, leaving the space for the next noble who came to give gifts.
